The next emergency is right around the corner. Donât be caught unprepared! Keep yourself, your family , and your community safe through a wide variety of training that is provided at no cost for our members.
The word âmedicalâ may be in our name, but it doesnât have to be in your background to be a useful volunteer for our organization. Every emergency response situation requires a variety of skills to ensure that things run smoothly and effectively.
We know that you wonât be able to help with every event or incident that comes up, but weâll ensure that you can make an impact in the community by keeping you informed of volunteer opportunities as they arise. Then you can choose the ones that best fit your situation.
We know the feeling of helplessness that comes with a disaster or unexpected emergency. It can have a devastating and long lasting effect on a community. Therefore, we take initiative and empower our community by providing extensive, free and ongoing training to prepare for the worst-case scenario.
